Takeover in trouble

[Wearside Wanderer II]

I heard as far back as January from 2 players that if we didn’t go up we were “fucked” financially wise, all this call for investors and saying it’s only for the long term incase we go up I think is a load of bollocks tbh, we’ve not long ago listened to SD and CM on the latest podcast and say the finances are better than we thought they would be and they can keep whatever players we want as we can afford them, well it’s pretty clear that we obviously can’t as we are letting players go without even having a replacement ready, pretty obvious we need the high earners to be gone so the finances can’t be as great as they are making out! SD has came off Twitter as he knows what backlash he’ll get with Cattermole gone and potentially others to follow with only 1 in at the start of pre season training, how about SAFC getting ahead of the game and bringing players in before pre season training instead of rushing and panic buying! Seems to me we have no forward thinking plan and we’ll just go along and see where it takes us like last season

Mate I’m pretty sure Donald didn’t come off twitter because of cattermole, it’s a business decision and a correct one.
He came off twitter as he snapped at a fan for trying to be a smart arse

Stewart has came off twitter because it’s full of knobbers and we’ve released Cattermole because there’s plenty of people who can do that job for a fraction of the wages. There are loads of clubs who haven’t done any business. There is still loads of time.

The two players you say you heard from that we are fucked are they still there drawing a wage?

Aye a know it’s not just the Cattermole stuff and your right it is the correct situation but it doesn’t seem all things are as good financially wise as SD and CM are saying, hopefully we get investment as it’s clearly needed! We are currently going into the season with a worse squad than least season! Seems there isn’t a clear plan going forward

Certainly are yes, your right it is full of people constantly having a go, I agree about Cattermole but where is the forward thinking and having someone ready to come in and replace him, something different to we currently have? Agree there’s time but all going to be rushed like last season again

Seriously, give it a rest.

You’re boring the entire forum.

That doesn't really answer a pretty valid question imo.

I’ll reiterate what I said earlier, I’ve posted all I can for now.

 

[The Jarra Wanderer]

Wrong, as you are so often.

Orange speedos and tipped hair it is then.

 

[bat]

So players are revealing financial details to a supporter. Very negative info. And one of those with whom they confided in decides now to reveal the info. Two things, why would players necessarily be given such info by the owners and why does a poster on here reveal it now rather than when they got it? Is it any wonder I am doubting the credibility of those professing to be ITK?

 

[Botchie]

It just seems odd for what we were told a month ago to suddenly change. I don't doubt people are telling you stuff, I assume in confidence. Yet you seem happy to risk breaking that confidence on here. If the fans have been duped and there's solid evidence of it, they'll quickly turn on whoever's took the piss.

I’m not breaking any confidences.

If I was I’d post a hell of a lot more of the stuff that know and make people’s eyes bleed

Well 2 things.
1. If you are in the know and folk telling you these things are truthful then you saying it would make our eyes bleed is a f***ing big significant statement and we are in the shit big style.
2. If your sources are being untruthful or you are, then you and they should be ashamed.

Im of course hoping its point 2 as if it is point 1 then the shit will hit the fan over that place.

And you're sure the stuff you're getting is factual? You're putting a lot of trust in God knows how many steps between your source and where the information originated. You may think your source is reasonable, but if he's being spun a load of bull then so are you. Just because what you've been told suits a particular narrative doesn't make it complete or factual. The first question you should be asking is who is passing me this stuff, and why do they want whatever it is out there. If your source isn't the originator, then it's no different to a rumour that Jan Koller has been sighted at Seaham Hall.

Even if he's being fed bullshit that suits a particular narrative?

I agree. Ive read a lot of his posts and recently with interest.

So if its point 1 , and i have openly stated im in the camp of SD.........then im a daft c-nt.

Sorry I didn’t particularly mean what I know about the takeover/club etc.

I meant the stuff I’ve been told due to me having such close links to the football world and many many people in it.

It’d make a great book one day

Is exactly the point I was trying to make.
